Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, it's Bethany from the Michael J. Morning Show.
You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after Hours.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
C Now Trudy, all right, Michael J and Bethany here.
So I was beginning to think of California seeing this
happen right in front of my eyes because I was
on Charles Street when this was all going on. Yeah,
so there was a there was a I guess a
forest fire, right it's it was. It was unoccupied land
(00:29):
about an acre and a half right there by Shepherd
Pratt if you know what I'm talking about on.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Charles Street by GBMC.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, this fire broke out and Baltimore County responded. They
took care of it. They had firefighters on the scene
for a few hours, and the crew announced that it
was put out around nine point fifty five the other night,
and they say it was about an acre and a
half that burned.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
That's scary because there are wildfaars everywhere right now, like
North Carolina and South Carolina are really getting it a
lot of times.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This happens from like a wire that goes down when
it's windy. But don't be throwing cigarettes out because who
knows if that causes a problem.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, just be aware that this could happen. And we
had a terrible situation in Catonsville.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So some workers were working on a home in Caytonsville
and they were working on a retaining wall, it seems,
and there was a collapse and they two of the
workers died.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's horrible. I'm really confused about this. Yeah, and I
want to ask. I know, we have a lot of
construction workers. Maybe you can you can chime in eight
hundred and three two one thirty six ninety three one
new support I'm hearing says that two construction workers were
trapped in a trench. Right, so listen, when you go
down in the ground in a trench, anytime it's six
feet deep, they have something called a trench box, which
(01:46):
is a great big metal device that they slide down
and you're in the middle of it, so you're supported.
They didn't have that though, so I don't know. But
then it says there's a retaining wall.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, it feels like they might have been building a
retaining wall. So we're not entirely sure. But if you
know anything about it, you know how this stuff works.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Let us know. Love to hear from you. Ninety three
point one, ninety.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Three point one Joe ypoc All right, the big news
our penny pickup last week.
Speaker 1 (02:17):

Speaker 2 (02:19):
We added all the change up over the weekend and
it totaled to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes, So now I'm walking around with this cash and
I got to get it to Saint Jude because you know,
we got to figure that part out today, the logistics
of it all. But I just wanted to jump in
here real quick and say, for everyone who threw their
pennies in the back of the apple Ford penny pickup,
did you just bust your bell?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh well, it was for a good cause. It was
for Saint Jude. So thank you. Get real excited about this.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, so listen, we mourn the passing a one year
anniversary of the great Toby Keith back on February fifth. Yeah,
back on February fifth. But listen to this. He's back
in the news. His estate is the issue A twenty
thirteen Forbes article called Toby Keith country Music's five hundred
million dollar man. There are some other reports that say
(03:21):
he was worth three hundred and seventy million. Regardless, it's
a whole lot of money and the final value of
the state was significant enough that Trisha his wife, and
I've met her, she's a sweet, sweet lady. She asked
a judge this past week in Oklahoma to seal the
records related to his estate because she feels that the information,
(03:44):
if known publicly, would increase the threat to safety and
security of the personal representative and their heirs.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So the judge agreed. That seems right. It's a lot
of money.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
The judge agreed and ruled that it would be sealed
so they'll be noticed.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ushan.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
The other big news, Chris Stapleton is over in Australia.
He's taking part in his first tour of that country.
That's cool. Well, he was invited to do a shoey
and he was like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's where you drink out of a boot.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yes, in Australia, you take your shoe right off and
it's got to come from somebody else's foot.
Speaker 1 (04:20):

Speaker 2 (04:21):

Grammy Award fifteen times?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wow? But he's never won?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ah, fifteen times his name was called And that's insane.
I mean that's and he's in eighth place among the
people that have been nominated the mouse and not received
a single award.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Snoop Dogg has been nominated seventeen times. He never won either,
never won anything. And well, anyway, so I started thinking
over the weekend, with these tickets to give away this week,
it might be fun to ask and we'll open the
lines up at eight hundred three two one thirty six
ninety three. Have you ever tried and tried and tried
(05:45):
to accomplish something and it didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know what I'm saying. Why doesn't have to be
a Grammy award? It could be anything in life. Once
I did a triathlon and I fail.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I did it, I finished, but god, I was like
fifth from the last.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But that's awesome. When I finished, that's awesome. Hard all right,
I bet it was. I can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, so I guess that was pretty dang was a failed.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't count it as a failure because I did it.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, and I don't think Dirks thinks it's a FAILUREM.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Nominated then yeah, So what did do you guys do?
Seven seven nine six two? Begin your message with high
or Hey do you have one?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Did you? Yeah? I have. It's been the same thing
with me with the CMA Award.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I've been nominated for that like eight times and you
haven't won never, So I relate to it. You get excited,
you hear your name called, and then can you play
that game with yourself? Like awards don't really matter exactly?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Like that stupid award.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three,
we're gonna grab a caller and we want to hear
what is it that you've tried and tried and tried
to do but struck out every time?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And so that you mad, I ain't surpressed about that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Little jelly first thing on a Monday morning here at
ninety three point one w POC with Michael j and Bethany,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm getting ready to drop the kids off and.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Head to work.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
All right, well, let me ask you real quick what
comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Want to ask you what have you tried and tried
and tried but never accomplished?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So the new thing is making salow dell and a
sour ghost.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Starter, and I have tried and tried and cannot figure
out how to get my sour do starter. So what
is it doing? Is just a jarrem of mush sour dell?
I guess right, it is. It's not rising and I
tried and tried and can't figure it out. Does she
need more? Yeas, I am not the right person to ask.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, but do you have any idea what the problem is?
Or is there something just you know artful about it
that you got to figure out.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I think it's just it has to be the right temperature,
consistency and just not walking out for me.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I'm sorry, sorry about that. But at least you're going
to see Dirks Metley.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That is exciting.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Thank you, Yay, congratulations. Who needs bread when you have
Dirks right right? Forget about your sour dough not rising
from the text.

Now, Trudy Bethany.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I kept hearing over the weekend about these protests.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. See it started at Fort McHenry, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Now Fort McHenry was celebrating the fact that they've been
in National Park for one hundred years, and the problem
was that the federal government has been laying people off,
and they laid off a thousand National Park people, six
of who, six of whom were working at Fort mcchanery.
(12:17):
Now they're gone, and fifty people showed up to hold
signs up and protest and we need our people at
our national park, sure because summertime's coming.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, that's when.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
People start checking out the National Park.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So while that was going on, another one hundred people
were protesting at the Tesla dealership in Owing's Mills. They
wrote graffiti. The police had to get involved. Oh come on, Yeah,
they were getting crazy. So that went on on Saturday
into Sunday. The dealership was closed on Sunday. Hopefully they
got it all cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know, we don't need to be you know, we
fine if you want to peacefully protest in am not
cause any issues.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But yeah, but don't know property. I do not destroy
people's property.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's just not right.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Elon, welcome to his fourth kid, a fourteenth kid, and
fourth with this one woman that we heard about, Shabon Zillis.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So he had a busy weekend. I can't fourteen kids.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I cannot believe women keep letting them, letting him get
them pregnant. I don't understand. Can you imagine having fourteen kids? No,
they're thinking of you. No, But he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, he's got a lot of money. I guess he
can cover it. But right, he's a fourteen but he's
not caring for the children.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, but he's Yeah, I don't know what he's doing. Well,
I do know what he's doing, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's ninety three point one w POC traffic with the nightmare.
All right, So it looks like that accident in Queenstown
has closed fifteen now at this point that's going to
be westbound between two thirteen and four point fifty six,
and that's because of an earlier overturn tractor trailer. We're
slow on eight ninety five southbound between the Harbor Tunnel
(13:58):
North end and south end right now. We're heavy on
B to B Parkway already and to bre In the
roadway on eighty three north found at Belfast Roads.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So just too clear of that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
You know how you hear someone singing the national anthem
when they mess it up, it's a big deal ingrid
andres we heard about.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So did you say that she's done to get it
again and this time it went way better? Well that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She redeemed herself. You know, today is National Anthem Day.
It was the day back in nineteen thirty one that
the president at the time signed our Star Spangled banner
into law as the national anthem. I would love to
have someone sing it, but you got to be able
to sing it, right.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'm just afraid that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I bet you five bucks if we go to the
telephone lines eight hundred and three to two one thirty
six ninety three. Do you think that we just take
a random caller. Do you think they'll know the national
anthem correctly? Or do you think they'll mess it up?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, first of all, I don't think anyone will call. Really,
I don't think that they I think nobody's going to
be a guiny pa. Let me find out. And then
if they do call, I don't think they're going to
get it right. Okay, So you think they won't get
it right, that's right, all right, I'll take it just
even money and we'll see. You want to bet five bucks?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Sure, all right, I'm going to open the lines up
eight hundred three to two one thirty six ninety three.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
If you think you know the.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
National anthem, I want you to call us right now.
We'll find a prize or we got to find something.
Eight hundred three to two one thirty six ninety three.
The first bet is you don't think we're gonna get
anybody on the line that we'll try, that's right, all right.
I think we'll find one person at least who's willing
to give it the old Baltimore effort.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We want to hear the national anthem. But it's got
to be done correctly. And this report is sponsored by Safeway.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
East Bethany breathe on ninety three point one w POC.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So Ago Joam did a shout out to her hometown
on SNL over the Weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Did you see this clip?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, there was a dark humor sketch about midday television
news show and they were talking about crime and she
called out Reisterstown Road and they called out Hunt Valley.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So I thought that was fun.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
R and B singer Angie Stone died in a car
accident just hours before her planned performance at the CIAA Tournament.
She was traveling with nine others in a van after
their performance in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So that was sad.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Forensics on the pacemaker that Gene Hackman was wearing it
or we learned nine days he's been he was dead,
he was said for nine days before they found his body.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Also this this begs the question like if he had
a pacemaker and the pacemaker stopped, could there be something
there like, hm, like technology wise to somebody that the
pacemaker stopped?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Do you know what I mean? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I don't know about those a whole lot. But I
don't know if there are they monitored or I don't know,
but I think it's interesting how they can find out.
But like it didn't alert anyone when he went down, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Maybe didn't have that thing, you know, hooked up with anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, I don't know how that works either, But I
was like, huh, wonder if there's my brain started working,
like could this have helped him?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Could this have alerted to people that he was dead? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The oscars were last night.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
They I want to take a quick pull seven seven
ninety six to start your message with high or hey
and let us know did you watch the Oscars?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Did you see any of the Oscar nominated movies?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Because I I saw a poll going into it and
the number one response was we didn't watch any of
the movies.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, and so I want to talk about every I
want to talk about the things that you guys are
interested in. So if you don't care about the Oscars,
just just let me know. Seven seven nine six two.
Start your message with high er hay. But I'll give
you a brief. Rundown ninety seventh Annual Academy Awards. They
mostly were there to honor La and the wildfires site.
Conan O'Brien hosted Anora. The film pretty much steamrolled every category. Yeah,
(18:32):
and nobody saw that coming, so that was the big story.
Harrison Ford was supposed to present at the Academy Awards,
but he couldn't because he got shingled. Oh and then lastly,
Harry Styles.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You know Harry Styles.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Sure, he ran the Tokyo Marathon yesterday and he finished
the race in under three and a half hours. In comparison,
the winner finished in two hours and three minutes. Wow,
ninety three point one WPOC Traffic's that's wild. Two hours,
twenty six miles. I'd have taken a car and still
not made it that quickly. All right, fifty in the
(19:07):
Eastern Shore looks like it looks like it's closed right
now between Centerville Road and del Roads Avenue.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Things are crawling. It's the looks like, all.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Right, we've got to open the lines up on this
one here eight hundred and three two one six ninety
three or text seven seven nine six two Michael, Jy
and Bethany. We're talking about weddings because there are a
lot of weddings coming up here.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Sarah, I was just invited to wedding out the invitation
over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, And you'll never believe.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
When you are SVP, you have to pick the meal right,
like what meal you'd like? Check in her steak and
of course there's a vegan option of course, or so
you pick your meal right, and then they'd like you
to pick what their last.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Name is going to be. No way, asked me. I
swear to god. I was like, oh, this is what
I've never seen before. Okay. So they have four options.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So they so you go to this website where you're
gonna argue option four options his last name, her last name,
and then hyphenated two versions hers first, his first.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, and then at the ceremony it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And then at the ceremony they're going to announce when
they say and now we present to you mister and missus,
and they're going to announce the name.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And I think that's kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I love that idea. Actually, is this going to take off?
Like the baby revealed it?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I wonder?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
But so where are you on this? Do you think
that they should hyphenate names? Do you think they?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Okay, So here's so, I, under no circumstances would ever
take my husband's name. I didn't and I wouldn't again,
really no, absolutely not why I for so many reasons,
Like I just think like it's it's based in a
system that's so is that too old and antiquated?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you think that that's Do you think the majority
of marriages now are not taking the husband's name?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Wow, No, I think that they're still taking I think
women are still taking husband's right, That's.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, and I but but also there's so many
different kinds of marriages now that I just feel like
I got that.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
But no, I'm like, I don't think we need to
do this anymore. All right, So.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
But now they're like, I get the idea that you
want the family to all have the same last name.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So I really like this idea.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Because if you want everyone under the same household to
have the same last name, it doesn't always have to
be his name. And I like that that they're saying that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Right, I'm dying what people think I really am, because
I guess I'm old school.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean, I just to me, it's just when you
get married, becomes the guy's name, and then the kids
are named with the guy's name.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, but why, I don't know why You're You're absolutely right,
it's one of those things we've always done. But because
it used to be the wakeness your property. But anymore,
I agree with you on that. She was in a.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Hey, yes, sir, Harmy Drake.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm all a buddy, Hammy Dre. I just learned a
lot because of you.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Bethany Oh, thanks you opened my eyes to the world
daily you do here at ninety three point one wdpoc. Well,
here's the thing, so I assumed, And you know what
they say when you assume I do. I you know,
growing up in Baltimore, people get married, the bride takes
the groom's name. That's the way it's always been. Yeah,
(22:42):
So I get married, my first wife takes my name. Uh,
we don't, it doesn't work out. Four or five years
go by, sadly it ended in divorce, right, Okay, So
then I meet someone else. We're dating. I wasn't rushing
to get married, and believe me, I wasn't. I was
like taking my time, right, three or four years go by.
(23:02):
She gives me the ultimatum. She's like, listen, time to
or get off the pot, right.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Take mere leave me baby. Right. So I'm like, all right,
so we got married.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay, but because my act sounds so romantic, well it
was very romantic.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But my ex what here's the whole thing. I was
just bringing up. My ex wife had my name my
new wife. It's like, no, I'm not taking your name, right, yeah,
because she was already established, you already have a in
her career.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, but I think it had to do with her
career as well.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So, so we've been married for you know, twenty five years, yeah,
twenty four years, it'll be twenty five and hopefully and uh,
you know, we haven't had any problems with it. But
I just started thinking about what you were saying about
how this bride and groom or asking people on the invitation.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, I got invited to a wedding where they are there.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
When you RSVP, you have to choose their last name
and they're going to go with whoever, whichever.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's so cool. I'm like, what, well, I.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Thought maybe this was the way it was around the world,
But you know what, You're absolutely right, not in all cultures.
While it is common in many Western societies for a
bride to take the groom's last name after marriage, so
many countries don't now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
In Greece, for example, law mandates that a woman retains
her maiden name.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
After marriage by law.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
France, recent laws allow couples to choose to take either
partner's name for social purposes. In Japan, marriage is only
legally recognized if the couple shares the same surname, which
can sometimes involve one partner adopting the others, but they
don't say which way it goes.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And sometimes they smash them together. Yeah. Yeah, so there's
more to create a new last name. There's more variety
on this than I thought there was. Yes, I think
it's really fair.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
But it's funny how that you mentioned your first wife
and your second wife because cowboy Mike said, I took
my first wife's name to show her that I loved her.
My third wife kept her second husband's name because they
had a son together.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Mike, Mike, He's give me an ice cream headache?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Is everything? Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Three PC? Traffic? That is a country song, Mike, is
too much?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And then someone else on tech said, Bethany, are you
still winning the Star Spangled banner? Bet?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, I am my bell.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Hold on, so we have this, we have this UH
beat that the first person that we get on the
phones who's willing to try to sing the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You say that they're going to mess it up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I say, first of all, no one's gonna call and
sing the national anthem at all, and then second of all,
if they do call, they will mess it up royally.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right, let's find out what's going on with traffic?
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Eight ninety five south bound between the Lombard Street UH
and the Harbor Tull know backed up just about three
Hey, guys, it's Bethany from the Michael J. Morning Show.
You're listening to Michael J and Bethany after Hours.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
C Now Trudy, all right, Michael J and Bethany here.
So I was beginning to think of California seeing this
happen right in front of my eyes because I was
on Charles Street when this was all going on. Yeah,
so there was a there was a I guess a
forest fire, right it's it was. It was unoccupied land
(00:29):
about an acre and a half right there by Shepherd
Pratt if you know what I'm talking about on.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Charles Street by GBMC.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, this fire broke out and Baltimore County responded. They
took care of it. They had firefighters on the scene
for a few hours, and the crew announced that it
was put out around nine point fifty five the other night,
and they say it was about an acre and a
half that burned.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
That's scary because there are wildfaars everywhere right now, like
North Carolina and South Carolina are really getting it a
lot of times.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This happens from like a wire that goes down when
it's windy. But don't be throwing cigarettes out because who
knows if that causes a problem.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, just be aware that this could happen. And we
had a terrible situation in Catonsville.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So some workers were working on a home in Caytonsville
and they were working on a retaining wall, it seems,
and there was a collapse and they two of the
workers died.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's horrible. I'm really confused about this. Yeah, and I
want to ask. I know, we have a lot of
construction workers. Maybe you can you can chime in eight
hundred and three two one thirty six ninety three one
new support I'm hearing says that two construction workers were
trapped in a trench. Right, so listen, when you go
down in the ground in a trench, anytime it's six
feet deep, they have something called a trench box, which
(01:46):
is a great big metal device that they slide down
and you're in the middle of it, so you're supported.
They didn't have that though, so I don't know. But
then it says there's a retaining wall.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, it feels like they might have been building a
retaining wall. So we're not entirely sure. But if you
know anything about it, you know how this stuff works.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Let us know. Love to hear from you. Ninety three
point one, ninety.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Three point one Joe ypoc All right, the big news
our penny pickup last week.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, we want to thank everyone who helped.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We added all the change up over the weekend and
it totaled to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes, So now I'm walking around with this cash and
I got to get it to Saint Jude because you know,
we got to figure that part out today, the logistics
of it all. But I just wanted to jump in
here real quick and say, for everyone who threw their
pennies in the back of the apple Ford penny pickup,
did you just bust your bell?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh well, it was for a good cause. It was
for Saint Jude. So thank you. Get real excited about this.
We got a thousand bucks for the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Thank Michael Jay's Music City minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You gon't know like you own music Road.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, so listen, we mourn the passing a one year
anniversary of the great Toby Keith back on February fifth. Yeah,
back on February fifth. But listen to this. He's back
in the news. His estate is the issue A twenty
thirteen Forbes article called Toby Keith country Music's five hundred
million dollar man. There are some other reports that say
(03:21):
he was worth three hundred and seventy million. Regardless, it's
a whole lot of money and the final value of
the state was significant enough that Trisha his wife, and
I've met her, she's a sweet, sweet lady. She asked
a judge this past week in Oklahoma to seal the
records related to his estate because she feels that the information,
(03:44):
if known publicly, would increase the threat to safety and
security of the personal representative and their heirs.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So the judge agreed. That seems right. It's a lot
of money.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
The judge agreed and ruled that it would be sealed
so they'll be noticed.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ushan.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
The other big news, Chris Stapleton is over in Australia.
He's taking part in his first tour of that country.
That's cool. Well, he was invited to do a shoey
and he was like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's where you drink out of a boot.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yes, in Australia, you take your shoe right off and
it's got to come from somebody else's foot.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, no, not yours.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Someone else's you fill it with beer and you chug
the alcohol right away.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
He's like, are you out of your mind?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
POC traffic No no shoey for Chris Stapleton because that's nasty.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well all right, Scrane Highway.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
At ninety three point one w POC A throwback to
the guys who are going to be at our iHeart
Country Festival May third, Brooks and done.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That is going to be a cool show.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hey, And speaking of concerts, Dirk's Bentley is coming and
I have we got Dirks?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Do I need to fan myself for this convery?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I know you get a excited about Darks Dontia. Well
did you know that Dirk's has been nominated for a
Grammy Award fifteen times?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wow? But he's never won?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ah, fifteen times his name was called And that's insane.
I mean that's and he's in eighth place among the
people that have been nominated the mouse and not received
a single award.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Snoop Dogg has been nominated seventeen times. He never won either,
never won anything. And well, anyway, so I started thinking
over the weekend, with these tickets to give away this week,
it might be fun to ask and we'll open the
lines up at eight hundred three two one thirty six
ninety three. Have you ever tried and tried and tried
(05:45):
to accomplish something and it didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know what I'm saying. Why doesn't have to be
a Grammy award? It could be anything in life. Once
I did a triathlon and I fail.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I did it, I finished, but god, I was like
fifth from the last.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But that's awesome. When I finished, that's awesome. Hard all right,
I bet it was. I can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, so I guess that was pretty dang was a failed.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't count it as a failure because I did it.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, and I don't think Dirks thinks it's a FAILUREM.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Nominated then yeah, So what did do you guys do?
Seven seven nine six two? Begin your message with high
or Hey do you have one?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Did you? Yeah? I have. It's been the same thing
with me with the CMA Award.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I've been nominated for that like eight times and you
haven't won never, So I relate to it. You get excited,
you hear your name called, and then can you play
that game with yourself? Like awards don't really matter exactly?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Like that stupid award.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well eight hundred three two one thirty six ninety three,
we're gonna grab a caller and we want to hear
what is it that you've tried and tried and tried
to do but struck out every time?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And so that you mad, I ain't surpressed about that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Little jelly first thing on a Monday morning here at
ninety three point one w POC with Michael j and Bethany,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm getting ready to drop the kids off and.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Head to work.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
All right, well, let me ask you real quick what
comes to mind?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Want to ask you what have you tried and tried
and tried but never accomplished?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So the new thing is making salow dell and a
sour ghost.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Starter, and I have tried and tried and cannot figure
out how to get my sour do starter. So what
is it doing? Is just a jarrem of mush sour dell?
I guess right, it is. It's not rising and I
tried and tried and can't figure it out. Does she
need more? Yeas, I am not the right person to ask.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, but do you have any idea what the problem is?
Or is there something just you know artful about it
that you got to figure out.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I think it's just it has to be the right temperature,
consistency and just not walking out for me.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I'm sorry, sorry about that. But at least you're going
to see Dirks Metley.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That is exciting.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Thank you, Yay, congratulations. Who needs bread when you have
Dirks right right? Forget about your sour dough not rising
from the text.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Someone said we repeatedly try to win the lottery and
have not succeeded.

Jane Bethany Ready to roll, ninety three point one wpo C.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Now, Trudy Bethany.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I kept hearing over the weekend about these protests.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. See it started at Fort McHenry, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Now Fort McHenry was celebrating the fact that they've been
in National Park for one hundred years, and the problem
was that the federal government has been laying people off,
and they laid off a thousand National Park people, six
of who, six of whom were working at Fort mcchanery.
(12:17):
Now they're gone, and fifty people showed up to hold
signs up and protest and we need our people at
our national park, sure because summertime's coming.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, that's when.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
People start checking out the National Park.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So while that was going on, another one hundred people
were protesting at the Tesla dealership in Owing's Mills. They
wrote graffiti. The police had to get involved. Oh come on, Yeah,
they were getting crazy. So that went on on Saturday
into Sunday. The dealership was closed on Sunday. Hopefully they
got it all cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know, we don't need to be you know, we
fine if you want to peacefully protest in am not
cause any issues.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But yeah, but don't know property. I do not destroy
people's property.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's just not right.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Elon, welcome to his fourth kid, a fourteenth kid, and
fourth with this one woman that we heard about, Shabon Zillis.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So he had a busy weekend. I can't fourteen kids.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I cannot believe women keep letting them, letting him get
them pregnant. I don't understand. Can you imagine having fourteen kids? No,
they're thinking of you. No, But he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, he's got a lot of money. I guess he
can cover it. But right, he's a fourteen but he's
not caring for the children.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, but he's Yeah, I don't know what he's doing. Well,
I do know what he's doing, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's ninety three point one w POC traffic with the nightmare.
All right, So it looks like that accident in Queenstown
has closed fifteen now at this point that's going to
be westbound between two thirteen and four point fifty six,
and that's because of an earlier overturn tractor trailer. We're
slow on eight ninety five southbound between the Harbor Tunnel
(13:58):
North end and south end right now. We're heavy on
B to B Parkway already and to bre In the
roadway on eighty three north found at Belfast Roads.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So just too clear of that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
You know how you hear someone singing the national anthem
when they mess it up, it's a big deal ingrid
andres we heard about.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So did you say that she's done to get it
again and this time it went way better? Well that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She redeemed herself. You know, today is National Anthem Day.
It was the day back in nineteen thirty one that
the president at the time signed our Star Spangled banner
into law as the national anthem. I would love to
have someone sing it, but you got to be able
to sing it, right.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'm just afraid that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I bet you five bucks if we go to the
telephone lines eight hundred and three to two one thirty
six ninety three. Do you think that we just take
a random caller. Do you think they'll know the national
anthem correctly? Or do you think they'll mess it up?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, first of all, I don't think anyone will call. Really,
I don't think that they I think nobody's going to
be a guiny pa. Let me find out. And then
if they do call, I don't think they're going to
get it right. Okay, So you think they won't get
it right, that's right, all right, I'll take it just
even money and we'll see. You want to bet five bucks?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Sure, all right, I'm going to open the lines up
eight hundred three to two one thirty six ninety three.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
If you think you know the.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
National anthem, I want you to call us right now.
We'll find a prize or we got to find something.
Eight hundred three to two one thirty six ninety three.
The first bet is you don't think we're gonna get
anybody on the line that we'll try, that's right, all right.
I think we'll find one person at least who's willing
to give it the old Baltimore effort.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We want to hear the national anthem. But it's got
to be done correctly. And this report is sponsored by Safeway.

So Ago Joam did a shout out to her hometown
on SNL over the Weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Did you see this clip?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, there was a dark humor sketch about midday television
news show and they were talking about crime and she
called out Reisterstown Road and they called out Hunt Valley.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So I thought that was fun.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
R and B singer Angie Stone died in a car
accident just hours before her planned performance at the CIAA Tournament.
She was traveling with nine others in a van after
their performance in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So that was sad.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Forensics on the pacemaker that Gene Hackman was wearing it
or we learned nine days he's been he was dead,
he was said for nine days before they found his body.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Also this this begs the question like if he had
a pacemaker and the pacemaker stopped, could there be something
there like, hm, like technology wise to somebody that the
pacemaker stopped?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Do you know what I mean? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I don't know about those a whole lot. But I
don't know if there are they monitored or I don't know,
but I think it's interesting how they can find out.
But like it didn't alert anyone when he went down, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Maybe didn't have that thing, you know, hooked up with anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, I don't know how that works either, But I
was like, huh, wonder if there's my brain started working,
like could this have helped him?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Could this have alerted to people that he was dead? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The oscars were last night.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
They I want to take a quick pull seven seven
ninety six to start your message with high or hey
and let us know did you watch the Oscars?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Did you see any of the Oscar nominated movies?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Because I I saw a poll going into it and
the number one response was we didn't watch any of
the movies.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, and so I want to talk about every I
want to talk about the things that you guys are
interested in. So if you don't care about the Oscars,
just just let me know. Seven seven nine six two.
Start your message with high er hay. But I'll give
you a brief. Rundown ninety seventh Annual Academy Awards. They
mostly were there to honor La and the wildfires site.
Conan O'Brien hosted Anora. The film pretty much steamrolled every category. Yeah,
(18:32):
and nobody saw that coming, so that was the big story.
Harrison Ford was supposed to present at the Academy Awards,
but he couldn't because he got shingled. Oh and then lastly,
Harry Styles.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You know Harry Styles.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Sure, he ran the Tokyo Marathon yesterday and he finished
the race in under three and a half hours. In comparison,
the winner finished in two hours and three minutes. Wow,
ninety three point one WPOC Traffic's that's wild. Two hours,
twenty six miles. I'd have taken a car and still
not made it that quickly. All right, fifty in the
(19:07):
Eastern Shore looks like it looks like it's closed right
now between Centerville Road and del Roads Avenue.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Things are crawling. It's the looks like, all.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Right, we've got to open the lines up on this
one here eight hundred and three two one six ninety
three or text seven seven nine six two Michael, Jy
and Bethany. We're talking about weddings because there are a
lot of weddings coming up here.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Sarah, I was just invited to wedding out the invitation
over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, And you'll never believe.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
When you are SVP, you have to pick the meal right,
like what meal you'd like? Check in her steak and
of course there's a vegan option of course, or so
you pick your meal right, and then they'd like you
to pick what their last.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Name is going to be. No way, asked me. I
swear to god. I was like, oh, this is what
I've never seen before. Okay. So they have four options.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So they so you go to this website where you're
gonna argue option four options his last name, her last name,
and then hyphenated two versions hers first, his first.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, and then at the ceremony it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And then at the ceremony they're going to announce when
they say and now we present to you mister and missus,
and they're going to announce the name.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And I think that's kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I love that idea. Actually, is this going to take off?
Like the baby revealed it?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I wonder?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
But so where are you on this? Do you think
that they should hyphenate names? Do you think they?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Okay, So here's so, I, under no circumstances would ever
take my husband's name. I didn't and I wouldn't again,
really no, absolutely not why I for so many reasons,
Like I just think like it's it's based in a
system that's so is that too old and antiquated?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you think that that's Do you think the majority
of marriages now are not taking the husband's name?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Wow, No, I think that they're still taking I think
women are still taking husband's right, That's.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, and I but but also there's so many
different kinds of marriages now that I just feel like
I got that.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
But no, I'm like, I don't think we need to
do this anymore. All right, So.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
But now they're like, I get the idea that you
want the family to all have the same last name.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So I really like this idea.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Because if you want everyone under the same household to
have the same last name, it doesn't always have to
be his name. And I like that that they're saying that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Right, I'm dying what people think I really am, because
I guess I'm old school.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean, I just to me, it's just when you
get married, becomes the guy's name, and then the kids
are named with the guy's name.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, but why, I don't know why You're You're absolutely right,
it's one of those things we've always done. But because
it used to be the wakeness your property. But anymore,
I agree with you on that. She was in a.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Hey, yes, sir, Harmy Drake.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm all a buddy, Hammy Dre. I just learned a
lot because of you.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Bethany Oh, thanks you opened my eyes to the world
daily you do here at ninety three point one wdpoc. Well,
here's the thing, so I assumed, And you know what
they say when you assume I do. I you know,
growing up in Baltimore, people get married, the bride takes
the groom's name. That's the way it's always been. Yeah,
(22:42):
So I get married, my first wife takes my name. Uh,
we don't, it doesn't work out. Four or five years
go by, sadly it ended in divorce, right, Okay, So
then I meet someone else. We're dating. I wasn't rushing
to get married, and believe me, I wasn't. I was
like taking my time, right, three or four years go by.
(23:02):
She gives me the ultimatum. She's like, listen, time to
or get off the pot, right.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Take mere leave me baby. Right. So I'm like, all right,
so we got married.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay, but because my act sounds so romantic, well it
was very romantic.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But my ex what here's the whole thing. I was
just bringing up. My ex wife had my name my
new wife. It's like, no, I'm not taking your name, right, yeah,
because she was already established, you already have a in
her career.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, but I think it had to do with her
career as well.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So, so we've been married for you know, twenty five years, yeah,
twenty four years, it'll be twenty five and hopefully and uh,
you know, we haven't had any problems with it. But
I just started thinking about what you were saying about
how this bride and groom or asking people on the invitation.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, I got invited to a wedding where they are there.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
When you RSVP, you have to choose their last name
and they're going to go with whoever, whichever.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's so cool. I'm like, what, well, I.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Thought maybe this was the way it was around the world,
But you know what, You're absolutely right, not in all cultures.
While it is common in many Western societies for a
bride to take the groom's last name after marriage, so
many countries don't now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
In Greece, for example, law mandates that a woman retains
her maiden name.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
After marriage by law.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
France, recent laws allow couples to choose to take either
partner's name for social purposes. In Japan, marriage is only
legally recognized if the couple shares the same surname, which
can sometimes involve one partner adopting the others, but they
don't say which way it goes.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And sometimes they smash them together. Yeah. Yeah, so there's
more to create a new last name. There's more variety
on this than I thought there was. Yes, I think
it's really fair.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
But it's funny how that you mentioned your first wife
and your second wife because cowboy Mike said, I took
my first wife's name to show her that I loved her.
My third wife kept her second husband's name because they
had a son together.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Mike, Mike, He's give me an ice cream headache?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Is everything? Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Three PC? Traffic? That is a country song, Mike, is
too much?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And then someone else on tech said, Bethany, are you
still winning the Star Spangled banner? Bet?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, I am my bell.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Hold on, so we have this, we have this UH
beat that the first person that we get on the
phones who's willing to try to sing the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You say that they're going to mess it up.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I say, first of all, no one's gonna call and
sing the national anthem at all, and then second of all,
if they do call, they will mess it up royally.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right, let's find out what's going on with traffic?
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Eight ninety five south bound between the Lombard Street UH
and the Harbor Tull know backed up just about three
